The Sheriff’s Department’s friendly and professional staff are always available to the citizens of Hawaiian Gardens with the goal of making the community an even safer place to live.

Currently, the Public Safety Center is staffed by a Special Assignment Sergeant, three deputies from the Hawaiian Gardens SAO Team, and a Community Service Assistant (CSA). The Public Safety Center is also utilized by Hawaiian Gardens patrol deputies to contact citizens for report calls, write reports, and conduct interviews with citizens.

The Hawaiian Gardens SAO Team consists of three highly trained and experienced deputies. The deputies are trained in all aspects of Community Based Policing techniques. They are responsible for long-term investigations and addressing quality of life issues. The SAO deputies are well versed in implementing long term solutions for combating gang and drug activity.

The Community Service Assistant has been trained to take both non-workable criminal and non-criminal reports. The Safety Center desk is equipped with a CAD terminal, which enables the Community Service Assistant to enter calls for service, which are forwarded to Lakewood Station for dispatching to Hawaiian Gardens patrol units. The Community Service Assistant is also trained in crime prevention techniques.
